the income on payroll taxes stops at $110,000. >> it's a flat tax. >> it's actually a regressive tax. if you earn $500,000, you're not paying any payroll tax. it's ridiculous. >> assessing something you can't hardly assess, but this is when they all come back after the election, what in the hell is going to happen? how do you read it right now? what are the leaders saying? >> it all comes down to the presidential election, every party is waiting to see what happens and no one really knows, it's going to take real leadership. if anything's going to get done, it's going to be mitch mcconnell. >> this president's going to go over the fiscal cliff. >> what's going on? big tax cuts? big tax -- >> coming up next, my pal steve meister. are you expecting just as an ordinary person who writes the occasional column and follows the politics, do you think we're going have a big smacking huge tax hike after the election, do you think the so-called tax cliff we're all going to fall into it? >> we're at this fiscal cliff, obama is going to engage in this class warfare his entire four years and he ha

at the same time that my tax plan has already lowered taxes for 98% of families, i also lowered taxes for small bi businesses 18 times. what i want to do is continue the tax rates, the tax cuts that we put into place for small businesses and families. but i have said that for incomes over $250,000 a year, that we should go back to the rates that we had when bill clinton was president, when we created 23 million new jobs, went from deficit to surplus and created a whole lot of millionaires to boot. and the reason this is important is because by doing that, we cannot only reduce the deficit, we cannot only encourage job growth through small businesses, but we're able to make the investments that are necessary in education, or in energy. and we do have a difference, though, when it comes to definitions of small business. under my plan, 97% of small businesses would not see their income taxes go up. governor romney says, well, the top 3%, they're the job creators, they'd be burdened. but under governor romney's definition, there are millionaires and billionaires who are small business. do
